  "account": "On Saturday evening, a lighting arch stand collapsed during a Dandiyaprogramme at MVSR Engineering College in Nadergul, Hyderabad, killing one student and injuring 14 others. The incident occurred around 7:30 pm when strong winds caused the arch, adorned with lights, to come down. The deceased, a first-year Electrical and Electronics Engineering student named Sona Narayan Das, was taken to a nearby private hospital but succumbed to her severe injuries while receiving treatment. Sona's sister, Meena Narayan Das, was also injured. The 14 injured students were later found to be out of danger. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy expressed condolences to Sona's family and ordered advanced medical care for the injured, promising strict action against those responsible.",
